2019 Map of Sour Lake

About this map

Sour Lake serves as the primary hub in this Southeast Texas landscape, situated at a junction of roads and waterways where the coastal plain meets the dense woodlands of the Big Thicket National Preserve. The map reveals a transition between open spaces like Jones Prairie and Pelt Prairie and the intricate drainage networks of Little Pine Island Bayou and Pine Island Bayou. Within the township, the street grid is well-defined, leading past the local Po and toward the Rosedale Cem on the southern edge. The area's namesake water features, including The Sour Lakes, Bushy Lake, and Grassy Lake, are clearly delineated, illustrating the wet, low-lying character of the Hardin County terrain. Rural connections like Old Batson Saratoga Rd and Rosier Park Rd tie the town to the surrounding preserves and outlying residential pockets like Aquarius and Tallow Ests.
